STEFAN JANOSKI MAX

DOERNBECHER FREESTYLE

$125

Corwin Carr is a friendly, freckled kid who’s going places — literally. This adventurous 12-year-old can’t wait to grow up and get his pilot’s license so he can explore the world. (His first stop? Edmonton Canada, where his grandparents live.)

Corwin’s sky-high ambitions are clearly evident on his Stefan Janoski Max. A jumbo jet prepares for takeoff across the upper, while a map of the world appears inside. As for the shoelaces, well, they just happen to be the same print as the iconic Portland airport carpet. On the pilot’s wings that surround Corwin’s logo, you’ll notice 40 feathers — those are for the 40 surgeries he’s had since he was diagnosed in utero with prune belly and VATER syndrome, a rare condition that can affect the spine, heart, digestive system, kidneys and more. It’s been a tough journey, but Corwin’s mom, Blaire, says it hasn’t shaken his unsinkable optimism.
